I was thumbing through my collection of Honda 600 articles today and discovered that I have one that I never posted to my website. It's a Car and Driver review of the Sedan and Coupe from April of 1972. I corrected that little oversight- you can now find it at the bottom of http://www.honda600coupe.com/Manuals,_b ... ments.html . As always, it is suitable for printing. Enjoy!

Wait... that article said that the n600 also came in automatic. Is that true?
Re: scanned in another article
yes, it came in an auto. My large service manual refered to it. I think it was only available in the 360 though (?)

Yes the 600 came in auto. American Honda in Torrance has one. It's the only one I've ever seen in 35 years of playing around with these cars.

Re: scanned in another article
I know of 8 Hondamatic 600 cars in the world. 1 in England, 2 in
Netherlands, 1 in New Zeland, 2 in Australia, 2 in the USA. Of the two in
USA, one is in Torrance as Matt has said. It's at the Honda headquarters
garage along with a 1972 Coupe. I have the other one. Numbers begin with
A 600 instead of N 600 and seem to have advanced into the two thousand four
hundred range. The detuning of the engine brought into the USA made them
gutless and although they were to be offered none were sold. Research shows
that Honda did not set up dealerships with the tools or equipment to service
them. My Hondamatic was a test vehicle which has been documented by Honda.
It came with engine number 5000035 and the chassis, body along with
electrical as well as suspension items differ vastly from the Honda 600's
sold. The rear drums are smaller than production AN600's. The power
booster is mounted on the back of the left front head light. The master
cylinder is like the one used on the S800 and the spair tire is mounted
under the hood instead of behind the rear bumper. Very few are left, which
makes them very hard to restore correctly. But it is progressing.
